@Sparty ... Re: The USA has won ...
Lets correct a few things...
1) Assange appealed the EAW three times, which is the maximum allowed under the law.
2) Under the EAW, there are 32 areas of law where there is no need to show duopoly. That is, you don't have to show that his actions broke the laws in both countries. Rape is one of those 32 laws. So while the appeals judges didn't have to consider the question of duopoly, they did. Even then they agreed that what he is accused of would be considered rape in the UK.
I agree that the Assange supporters continue to argue the issue and ignore the law.
In addition to the issue of the EAW, they also forget that Assange wasn't allowed to leave the country.
He was supposed to come in for questioning where he would have been charged, but his lawyer helped him escape. His lawyer admitted to his actions during the first EAW appeal in the UK.
Then they talk about Manning and Assange blowing the whistle on illegal US activities.
Yet nothing released was shown to be illegal.
You can point these verifiable details out to everyone, yet that won't change their minds. People will believe what they want to believe.
